MORE ABOUT THE PUBLICATION
MORE ABOUT THE PUBLICATION
Our May cover story features ALLi’s Watchdog Desk lead John Doppler in conversation with editor-in-chief Roz Morris. John shares the story behind his passion for consumer advocacy, how he came to the role, and what it really takes to protect indie authors from scammers and bad actors in a rapidly evolving publishing landscape.
Also in this issue: a comprehensive 2026 guide to social media platforms, helping you work out where your readers actually are and how to choose the platforms that suit your temperament, genre and goals. We look at when to revise a book and when to retire it altogether, with candid case studies from members who have done both. And an excerpt from ALLi’s Creative Self-Publishing guide explores the three core publishing values, helping you stop doing All The Things and focus on what really matters for your author business. We have a full report on the inaugural Indie Author Lab at the London Book Fair, plus news of the online follow-up events. And don’t miss the latest Data Drop with insights on purchase link overwhelm, rights licensing trends and the bookstore that’s changing how indie books get discovered.
All this and the latest ALLi news, including the official launch of the Indie Author Bookstore, platform changes at Draft2Digital and ACX Audible, updates from our campaigns and SelfPubCon 2026 in October, celebrations of recent member milestones, and the latest from our blog and podcasts.
